| The Basics |
| Who are The Basics? Kelly and Wade Baynham. They met at Stanford University and combined their musical talents to form The Basics. They label themselves as a modern folk rock band, but they're so much more . . . My best friend introduced me to their music in 1995, and I have been a faithful fan ever since. |

| When I Close My Eyes 1992 |
| Cosmic Neighborhood 1999 |
| Canticle of the Turning 1996 |
| Haven Road 1994 |
| Weight and Glory 1993 |
| (My favorite is "When I Close My Eyes", but they're all so good that it's hard to choose!!!) |
| It was truly a great experience following Kelly & Wade around the San Francisco Bay Area to see them play in coffee shops and local auditoriums. Unfortunately, in 1998, they moved from California to North Carolina to minimize costs and open their own recording studio . . . The Second Story. |

| Quotes From The Press . . . Stanford Daily "You can't help getting caught up in the Basics' englightened collage of songs. Definitely worth checking out." Intermission Magazine "An immensely satisfying mix of pop and folk...this catchy new release [Haven Road] abounds with self assurance and maturity." KFOG 104.5 (San Francisco) Self-produced CDs often sound a bit amiss. But yours [Haven Road] is golden...I really love it." |
